The 35 pages that link to Kepler orbit, each with the reason it gives.

• Accretion diskRelated: Many disks rotate approximately at the orbital speed set by the central object's gravity.

• Radial velocity methodRelated: Its parameters shape the periodic velocity curve produced by an orbiting planet.

• Johannes KeplerBroader topic: The term carries Kepler’s orbital geometry into later celestial mechanics.

• Orbital eccentricityNarrower topic: Its conic-section paths are classified by eccentricity.

• AsteroidRelated: It provides the basic model for an asteroid’s path around the Sun.

• Centripetal forceRelated: For a circular Keplerian orbit, gravity supplies the required inward force.

• Orbital elementsNarrower topic: Classical orbital elements describe this ideal two-body motion directly.

• Two-body problemBroader topic: The relative trajectory is an ellipse, parabola, or hyperbola, depending on energy.

• Lagrange pointCompared with: A Lagrange point is an equilibrium in a rotating system, not a Keplerian orbit.

• Vis-viva equationNarrower topic: The vis-viva relation follows from this two-body orbital model.

• Orbit determinationNarrower topic: Its six classical elements provide a common coordinate system for describing estimated orbits.

• Oort cloudNarrower topic: Orbital mechanics connects a comet's measured path to the scale of its source region.

• Yarkovsky effectNarrower topic: The effect slowly modifies the orbital elements of an otherwise Keplerian path.

• Ballistic trajectoryCompared with: A ballistic path may be gravitational, but usually intersects a surface instead of remaining in orbit.

• Gravitational perturbationCompared with: It is the unperturbed reference path from which gravitational deviations are measured.

• Orbital perturbationNarrower topic: It is the unperturbed orbit against which deviations are measured.

• Binary pulsarRelated: Its orbital parameters provide the baseline against which relativistic deviations are measured.

• Deferent and epicycleCompared with: Elliptical orbits replaced combinations of circles as a simpler account of planetary paths.

• Specific orbital energyNarrower topic: Its conic shape and size are classified by specific orbital energy.

• Focus (geometry)Related: The focus locates the central body in an elliptical planetary orbit.

• Rings of SaturnNarrower topic: Each ring particle follows an orbit around Saturn, modified by nearby particles and moons.

• Orbital maneuverNarrower topic: It provides the baseline orbit that a maneuver changes.

• Poynting–Robertson effectNarrower topic: The effect slowly modifies the nearly Keplerian paths followed by circumstellar dust.

• Circular orbitNarrower topic: Circular orbits are one member of this broader family of gravitational paths.

• Minor planetRelated: Orbital elements describe the paths used to identify and track minor planets.

• Lunar theoryNarrower topic: It supplies the baseline ellipse that lunar theory modifies.

• Orbital precessionCompared with: A Keplerian orbit does not precess unless additional forces or corrections are introduced.

• Stellar orbitBroader topic: It approximates a star’s path when one gravitating mass dominates.

• Polar orbitNarrower topic: Polar inclination is one orientation property within the broader Keplerian orbit description.

• Bi-elliptic transferNarrower topic: Each transfer arc is modeled as a Kepler orbit between impulsive burns.

• Interplanetary dust cloudNarrower topic: Dust particles follow near-Keplerian paths between significant perturbations.

• Andrea M. GhezRelated: The observed stars’ nearly Keplerian motions allowed the enclosed central mass to be estimated.

• Frozen orbitCompared with: A Keplerian orbit has fixed elements by assumption; a frozen orbit balances real perturbations.

• LemniscateCompared with: A lemniscate can model certain perturbed orbital paths, unlike the conic orbits of the ideal two-body problem.

• Newton's theorem of revolving orbitsCompared with: Newton's construction retains the orbit's shape while changing its apsidal behavior.
